Abstract

In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed relating to generating a response from image and/or video input for image/video-based artificial intelligence (AI) systems and applications. Systems and methods are disclosed for a first model (e.g., a teacher model) distilling its knowledge to a second model (a student model). The second model receives a downstream image in a downstream task and generates at least one feature. The first model generates first features corresponding to an image which can be a real image or a synthetic image. The second model generates second features using the image as an input to the second model. Loss with respect to first features is determined. The second model is updated using the loss.
